This class will further advance the students' welding skills for pipe. The student will learn the techniques required of a certified pipe welder. Proper tacks and feather edging, filler metal angles and manipulations for open root pipe welding are taught. Class will consist of GTAW welding on carbon steel pipe. Training will be with ER70S carbon steel solid wire with upward progression. Practice is geared toward certification to ASME IX, Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code in the 6G position on carbon steel.

Offered at our Maryland and Pennsylvania training locations through our educational partnerships.*

Upon successful completion of the course, student will receive an Earlbeck Certificate of Completion. A certification test will also be administered within this course. Passing the certification tests in accordance with ASME code standards provides an all position ASME welder certification.
